Xbox Live users are now able to register for the rejuvenated Xbox Live Rewards scheme and will automatically be rewarded according to their existing Gamerscore.

Those with a score of between 3,000-9,999 points will be entitled to a special gift of some sorts during their birthday month. For between 10,000 and 24,999 you’ll also be entitled to a one per cent rebate on some XBL purchases.

This increases to two per cent for those with a score of 25,000 or over.

More or less everything is included – Arcade purchases, games on Demand, DLC and avatar extras. In fact, only MS Point and XBL Memberships are excluded as far as we can tell.
